I didnt realize the first one was so popular. The first just kinda dragged on and on... and then the ending... meh. I dig the posters, but as Santa Sangre said its basically the same idea as the first.

But I'll end up watching this on dvd while I fold laundry or something, lol.

Already seen this movie, I know out in later in year the UK, I thought it would better then first!

I did not like the first one at all, I thought one of most boring movies I Have seen, Did not once get scared or creeped out at all, I thought it was The Worst Exorcism movie but then we suffered for even worse with Devil Inside 2 years later!

Least this Last Exorcism 1 had some scarce scenes at least and tense moment in (Which Didn't work for me as saw them coming) and there in that movie unlike Devil inside and this sequel to the first movie

Nell is trying to put her life back together and she has blocked out all things that happens to her in the first movie but soon they what her back again.

This was really bland from start to end, there was not one moment that actually felt anything scary was going to happen any where in the movie,

The only good think I can say about this movie is that, last 10 minutes of the movie was so-what watch able and something was finally hap ping in the movie and again it wasn't that scary at all and most of that scene see the trailer .

I didn't mind the movie ended but story didn't really end!

Yet another movie that show 95% of movie in trailer, Just watch the trailer skip this movie

One other good think I can say about this movie is that the acting was really good from the cast but shame about the rest of the bland movie.

Havent seen part 2 yet and don't think Im gonna to, preventing a big disappointment after part 1 which I liked.

I'm still surprised about the reactions of many viewers on the first part, am I the only one thinking it was ambiguous as hell. Was Nell really 'possessed'? (and maybe that's the reason why so many people disliked the movie, they may expect the most freaking devil scenes)

I didnt see any convincing 'evidence' of possession and keep in mind what the Reverend is telling at the begin of the movie: something about people believing in god and the devil and that people growing up in a culture with little medical possibilities and a strong dependancy on religion, who think they're possessed might be helped by an exorcism or ritual whick makes that thought go away.

(Religious) sects have much benefit from making their followers believe in 'something', exactly like the way the Reverend benefits from persuading others, and to go further: like the way director in my opinion is 'persuading' his 'followers' (the viewers) of something which isn't actually shown or real. He's very delicately holding open both options (crazy or the devil within) and yet I think 90% of the viewers assume that she must be possessed despite the words during the intro. Great job, great movie.

That first word definitely describes this movie to a tee.

It's too early to be deconstructing your own movie, to make a sequel (The Thing 2011 gets a pass) The first was ff, had a few moments of visceral brutality, and had nell contorting her body in all kinds of crazy positions that defy reality. This sequel goes for more traditonal style, goes for a more creepy vibe, and Nell's contortions are very subtle, and lack the effectiveness of the original

The one good thing about this movie was Nell's story, getting used to her new life, and growing as a person, and Ashley Bells acting, in general
